Spend the Day at Waterfront Gourmet

One Stop Coffee Shop for Deliciousness in University City
We know that those who live in University City have some of the busiest schedules in Philadelphia. Being surrounded by fellow students and professors can put a lot of pressure on you, whether you’re working towards a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree.

Waterfront Gourmet is the perfect place to spend the day – if you have a break between classes or you’re cramming for a test, we are the perfect one-stop shop. We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner options seven days a week, and our Wi-Fi is free for everyone.

Come to our café in University City, Philadelphia alone or with a friend. We offer amazing breakfast options, including fresh baked pastries from our bakery. Indulge in a chocolate chip muffin, croissant or scone paired with your choice of Illy Coffee. A single or double shot of espresso will start your day with a jolt and you’ll be energized for class all day!

Bring your books or your friends and stay awhile! Waterfront Gourmet is the perfect coffee shop in University City to relax, unwind and focus on your studies with a large cup of coffee —  or try a cappuccino if you know you’ll be up all night preparing for a test. Come hang out with us while sipping on some delicious coffee or eating a gourmet sandwich. We’ve made sure you’ll be comfortable at our café and deli in University City!

If your parents take the plunge to visit you here in University City, our café is the perfect place to bring them! Welcome them to your new home by introducing them to one of our gourmet sandwiches or salads. If they want brunch, suggest one of our delicious bagels with lox or whitefish — it’s also the perfect time to try one of our parfaits or oatmeal!

We Go Above and Beyond at Our Café and Deli
Our mission is to merge the homey aspects of a cozy café with top quality cuisine of a gourmet deli. We put a spin on any “normal” sandwich by adding modern flavor, technique and passion to create the perfect combination of art and sandwich.

Can’t decide between our soup or sandwich of the day? No problem! We offer lunch combinations, too. Pair your soup with a salad for the perfect blend of comfort and appetizing creations. Add an iced tea, fresh juice, or iced coffee for a perfect meal.

Every hardworking student deserves a great meal, and walking away from your work should not have to be a requirement to get one. That’s  why delivery is a big part of what we do! We will happily come to you on those days you can’t leave your dorm or apartment! Our café and deli here in University City is happy to deliver to you seven days a week during our business hours. Call ahead and let us know what you’re craving. We’ll bring it right to your door.

We cater, too! Remember Waterfront Gourmet for your next party – we work with parties of all sizes and for all occasions. Whether you’re celebrating your intramural softball team’s win or organizing a large fraternity meeting, we have something for your guests.

Stop in today to try one of our specialty sandwiches. We’d love to see you!
